TESTIMONIALS
I am truly honoured and grateful for meeting Jennifer and working with her since 2016. Jennifer was appointed as lead consultant to provide mentorship, guidance on the National Quality Framework, general operational advice and specific training sessions for educators. Since her involvement, we have seen a rapid and consistent improvement in the general quality of the centre, and her support has allowed me to gain confidence in my management skills and knowledge in regards to being a more effective Centre Director. After several months of working together in a quality improvement and reflective practice project, our centre achieved an Exceeding Rating in the seven quality areas as well as all eighteen standards of the National Quality Standard. Her knowledge and experience in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector is unrivalled and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the industry that is seeking to provide a true quality service.

I have had the pleasure of being professionally influenced by Jennifer in multiple situations since 2016. She continuously encourages me to challenge thinking and perceptions in the early childhood education and care sector, always being guided by the rights of children and fundamental principles of social justice.
Jennifer’s understanding of the National Quality Framework in practice, as well as the Assessment and Rating process are second to none. Sessions facilitated by Jen should be mandatory for anyone working with young children. She is an asset to the Early Childhood Education and Care sector in Australia.

Jennifer recently worked with our team at YMCA Falcon Early Learning Centre in WA and we are so grateful to her for the work that she did with our team. We gained so much insight into further practice improvements that we could implement and this was instrumental in us receiving a rating of exceeding the National Quality Standard. Jennifer also delivered an inspirational professional learning session for our team which got us thinking about new ideas and concepts and reinvigorated our passion for our work. Thank you so much Jennifer!

Jennifer’s knowledge and understanding of all aspects of the National Quality Framework is incomparable. What she is particularly good at though is making this information accessible to educators of all levels.
Educators walk away from her sessions with confidence, feeling valued and inspired to make change. I would recommend her to anyone wanting professional development that really makes a difference to practice.

Jennifer has a broad knowledge of educational theory and practice. Her commitment to the work of educators has been central in both departmental and service provisional positions.
Jennifer has the unique capacity to translate the relationship between everyday practice and regulatory frameworks that focus on success for those in conversation with her. This, coupled with her unwavering commitment to children's rights, make for a supportive professional learning relationship and exciting professional, leadership and curriculum endeavours.

Jennifer worked with our Operations Managers, Centre Managers and educators to build their understanding of contemporary theories of early childhood practice and the requirements of the National Quality Framework. This resulted in stronger theoretical understandings and positive changes in our educators' practice.
What we really valued about working with Jennifer was her depth of knowledge along with her ability to translate this into everyday practice to make change, and also the way she could quickly build positive and supportive relationships that empowered our educators' confidence and capabilities.

After forty years in this game, I found your session one of the most action inspiring I have been to in a while, if not ever! So many of these get us all enthused, and yet transporting the enthusiasm to action on return to the day to day practice is more difficult. I have actioned two very significant changes since attending your conference – so I thank you for all your efforts to enthuse and inspire us

I had the opportunity to attend Jennifer’s conference in Sydney. She was awesome & a powerful speaker focussing on United Nations Convention on the rights of children & ECA Code of ethics in relation to the NQF. I also loved the research based QIP’s. She delivered the conference with lots of humour and ensured the conference was interactive & everyone was engaged & we shared lots of insights. I would highly recommend her conference as its highly client focussed. Jennifer sets a benchmark in the education and care sector by through her quality content, design and delivery, and I would highly recommend her brilliant work!
